	Driver's side ball joint fell off resulting in the entire wheel coming off. there was no forwarning of this going to occur. took it to the local dealer they replaced the lower & upper balljoints and the left lower ball joint. also, they replaced a tire and replaced a brake hose. they said to bring it back in july and they would replace the ball joints again?! the vehicle has never driven worse than it does now. since getting it back from repairs it shimmys and shakes severly and does not fell safe.
